...after Giblet has completed her coccidia treatment with Albon. I want to make sure she doesn't develop yellow fungus.

treatment is stopped, we recommend to continue the acidophliz /acidophlus for a week after the last treatment. Then we ise whenever they seem to have an upset tummy or appear to be slowing down with no other explanation like clear fecals or brumation.

What kind of stuf is this?

It is a supplement of beneficial bacteria that can get killed off with an antibiotic. These bacteria are important in digestion as well as competition with harmful bacteria. This is why when an antibiotic is being used, it is very helpful for your beardie to supplemented with this to increase appetite and ward off yellow fungus.

I feed both silkworms and crickets. Just silks once a day and just crickets once a day. When I feed my hog the silks she always has watery stools but not with the crix. I mean there is actually a small puddle! She seems very, very healthy is growing a normal rate. Your thoughts please?

Thanks!!

she means fecals where no bad microbes are detected. The watery stools that do not look like diarrhea are due to high water intake. Silkworms have a larger amount of water than crix so your beardie excretes the excess when he poops, so that's normal.

was unclear and I like to be sure.

"Then we ise whenever they seem to have an upset tummy or appear to be slowing down with no other explanation like clear fecals or brumation."

Thanks for your help.
